Chapter Ninety-Five: Natural Disaster

"Miss, it's not the first time we've heard what you brought up that time!"

"Since it's the first time, then he," Xiaoqing couldn't go on, he really couldn't find a reason to help him argue, the two looked at each other and laughed again. “

"Oh, no, I'm laughing."

"Quick, bring me a glass of water."

"Miss, you can't drink water!"

After cleaning up for a while, Xia Qingqing finally settled down and looked at the account book, "Well, yes, there are entries every day, it looks really good!" ”

"Miss, you don't know!"

"Lin Jin, Lin Yin, and the two of them have been picky about Bai Yutang since they came back from Xuzhou, thinking that this is not quick to do things, that is not diligent, that pig's brain, and that elm head."

"I simply put my eyes on the top of my head to look at people, and let Lin Cai repair it, and then the two of them put down their tails that were raised to the sky."

Xia Qingqing smiled helplessly, "Alas, this is normal, I stay in this capital every day, looking at this world, it is inevitable that there will be pride and complacency,"

"When I went out, I knew that the sky was high and the sea was wide, and when I came back and looked at the people in the well, I naturally felt that they were nothing remarkable."

In the evening, everyone sat together, the emperor sat on the top, the sound of silk and bamboo sounded in the hall, drinking and having fun, and the monarchs and ministers gathered together.

The second prince, who was grounded in the palace, also attended the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

The emperor opened his mouth and said, "Boss, second, you reflect on yourself in the mansion every day, do you know that you are wrong?" ”

The eldest prince preemptively said, "Father and Emperor know that he is wrong. ”

The second prince was not far behind and said, "The father and the emperor also know that they are wrong. ”

Only then did the emperor nod with satisfaction, "Okay." ”

"Since you two know that you are wrong, no one is allowed to mention this matter again in the future."

The military generals of Wenchen were all interceding with their respective loyal princes, and the excerpts of pleading were handed one after another, which made the emperor, who was already a little hesitant, shake his mind even more.

Ignoring it completely, the two of them still have more than half a month to solve the matter of grounding time, the third prince clenched his fingers angrily below, but he didn't expect the emperor to be so mediocre.

The emperor and the eldest prince, the second prince looked like flesh and blood, and everyone was so angry that their eyes were red.

The third prince was even more hateful, squeaked the wine glass, and under a happy scene, a little eunuch hurriedly ran into the palace.

He fell to his knees with a thud and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the sudden snowfall in the north has left many people displaced and homeless. ”

"Ridiculous!"

"What stupid are you talking about?"

The emperor was furious and slammed the wine glass in his hand on the ground, "If it was really a sudden snowstorm, why didn't anyone report it earlier?" ”

The emperor looked at Prime Minister Wen, and he immediately saluted and said, "Your Majesty, the song that came up from the north said that everything is peaceful. ”

The little eunuch knelt on the ground tremblingly, and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, it's true!" ”

"Really, tens of thousands of people have died, in the midst of this blizzard, it has been snowing in the north for more than ten days, and many beams have been crushed."

The main hall, which was originally full of laughter and laughter, was so quiet that even a needle could be heard.

The little eunuch trembled even more, and didn't dare to raise his head, "Your Majesty." ”

The emperor looked at everyone in the hall in a daze, and only after a while did he find his voice and said, "Someone is coming!" ”

"Someone!

When the old prince saw that the emperor was in an unstable mood, he immediately stood up and said, "The minister is here!" ”

When the emperor saw him, it was like seeing a life-saving straw, and said, "King Jing, you go to see what is going on for me?" ”

At this time, the emperor's heart was already in turmoil, and there were the words of Qin Tianjian in front of him.

It shows that the Phoenix Girl has appeared in the capital, and then there is a snowstorm in the north, is it that his throne is really unstable?

Heaven can't see it, is this snow coming to warn him? The old prince said in a deep voice, "The emperor is not in a hurry, the minister will set off for the north to find out." ”

The blue tendons on the emperor's forehead burst out, "King Feng Jing is the governor of Yipin, and he will go to the north immediately." ”

"Minister, take the order."

King Jing stood up and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, Weichen must live up to his mission. ”

The Emperor's eyes were staring at him, and his lips opened and opened, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.

With a wave of his hand, the old prince turned around and left the hall in understanding.

As soon as he saw it, he was about to get up immediately, and Xia Qingqing, who was sitting in the back row, watched the whole process in a daze.

couldn't help but stand up, and just wanted to chase out, but was stopped by the fourth sister-in-law beside him, "What are you going to do?" ”

"Sister-in-law, is my grandfather going out now?"

"But today is Chinese New Year's Eve!"

"Grandfather hasn't even finished the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner!"

The fourth sister-in-law, Lin Yuan'er, lowered her voice and said, "Qingqing, don't make trouble, this is the right matter." ”

"The north has always been bitterly cold, and the people there are counting on the grain grown in the fields all year round to feed their families."

"And the winter is long, so I can only eat some of the grain that comes up in the summer."

"If it's really a sudden blizzard!" Lin Yue'er squinted her eyes and looked at the back of the old prince leaving.

"I don't know how many people will die in this crisis, and every time a disaster strikes, it will inevitably be accompanied by an epidemic."

"Grandfather, this is a long way and a great responsibility, and at this time, we must not mess with ourselves."

Xia Qingqing was already six gods and had no master, and after listening to the words of the fourth sister-in-law, she was even more anxious to grab his hand.

"What then?" he asked. ”

"Is there anything I can do?"

"How can I help?"

"Grandfather went like this, but he didn't have any food, grass, food, and clothing yet."

"No, you can't just go out like this!"

"Qingqing, calm down, the emperor has already issued an order, this is a fact that cannot be changed."

Xia Jinghong sat on her diagonal front side.

Sensing that the limbs of the two of them were moving, he immediately turned his head to look at Xia Qingqing and said, "Qingqing, you must hold back at this time." ”

"Don't make trouble for your grandfather, it's a matter of national importance."

Xia Qingqing was so anxious that she was about to cry, "Brother, but grandfather, he didn't prepare anything, so he went out." ”

Xia Jinghong patted her hand and said, "Grandfather has dealt with this extreme weather not once or twice. ”

"Don't worry, grandfather will definitely make some arrangements, and even if he leads the forbidden army to go first to pacify the affected people."

"In the future, the imperial court will also send grain and grass, and supplies to send over, it won't be ignored, don't panic."

At this time, Xia Jinghong's words gave Xia Qingqing a glimmer of hope, "Can we also do the disaster relief?" ”

Xia Jinghong shook his head lightly and said, "The emperor didn't say anything about it, but just asked my grandfather to verify the truth." ”

"When my grandfather went, he could only do some simple rescue methods first, if he really talked about disaster relief and reassuring civilians."

"I'm afraid it won't be until tomorrow that the Holy Lord will make arrangements."

"You see, now the hall has begun to whisper, and many people are looking at their noses and pretending to be deaf and dumb."

The emperor drank wine cup after cup, and no one dared to stand up and say a word at this time.

Xia Qingqing looked at everyone and stomped his feet with hatred.

She really wanted to leave this hall now to do something for the people, just like her grandfather.

Even if it is to raise more for the people, prepare more grain and grass for disaster relief, and transport it over.

She looked at these officials who were in high positions and only knew how to have fun on weekdays, and her teeth itched with hatred.

The third prince was the same, fidgeting and waiting there, even if he was anxious in his heart, he didn't dare to show the slightest trace on his face.

After all, at this time, he was just a prince with no real power, and he was unknown in the court.

He also has no power background, and if he rashly stands up at this time, I am afraid that he will also disrupt his strategy.

He was secretly annoyed and hated his powerlessness at this time.

The eldest prince and the second prince glanced at each other, both wanting to say something, but swallowed it back.

The queen sat next to the emperor and whispered something to him, but Xia Qingqing was far away and couldn't really hear it.

I could only see that the emperor waved his hand impatiently, and Fu'an stepped forward and whispered a few words, and then shouted loudly.

"It's getting late, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is over, let's disperse first!"

"Your ministers obey," the ministers stood up and saluted.

The emperor stroked his sleeves and left angrily, and the rest of the people exited the hall in an orderly manner.

Xia was relatively close to the door of the store and ran out first.

"Qingqing! Green! What do you run? ”

The third prince was far away, and when he saw Xia Qingqing's anxious footsteps, he knew that she must be worried about the old prince.

Will there be any danger in going to the disaster relief this time, after all, the road is slippery in the cold weather, and if something happens at this time, it is really hard to say.

Xia Jinghong glanced at his wife Lin Yuan'er.

Lin Yuan'er said, "Don't worry, husband, I will definitely be able to appease Qingqing, you can go and get busy!" ”

Xia Jinghong responded, "Thank you, madam." ”

"Why are you and me talking about this with one heart?" Lin Yuan'er said comfortingly.

"Grandfather, he is old, and he is tired all the way, so he must not be able to stand it, you should go to the military department to inquire and arrange it for him first."

"I accompanied Qingqing to save her from making mistakes in the chaos, and I was already panicked when I looked at her just now." After speaking, he walked quickly to the outside of the hall.

Xia Qingqing slipped into the carriage and urged the groom to say, "Hurry up!" Come home! ”

"Qingqing, Qingqing, you wait for me!"

Behind him was the voice of the fourth sister-in-law, Xia Qingqing said anxiously, "Hurry, come quickly!" ”

She pulled Lin Yuan'er up.

Today is a banquet in the palace, originally she planned to bring a maid here, but when she was about to go out.

The fourth sister-in-law said, "There are many people today, and in order to avoid problems, since the two of them are sitting together, they only bring one maid." ”

At this time, she was not accompanied by a maid.

Lin Yuan'er was also anxious as soon as she got into the carriage, and said, "Quick, go back to the house!" ”

Xia Qingqing patted her head and asked, "Where are you maid?" ”
